| 5.3.Ti | = | Conversion at Option of the Corporation |
| 5.3.sec | = | Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, and subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this paragraph 5, at the option of the Corporation, each outstanding share of Preferred Stock may be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price then in effect if the Corporation has executed a definitive agreement for sale of the Company, or a firmly underwritten public offering of common equity in which the aggregate price paid by the acquiring company or by the public for such for all of the issued and outstanding Common Stock and shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of any options, warrants or rights or conversion or exchange of such convertible or exchangeable securities is at least {Convert.Automatic.GrossProceeds.$} (net of underwriting discounts, commissions and related offering expenses). |
| 5.4.Ti | = | Conversion Price |
| 5.4.sec | = | Each share of Preferred Stock shall be converted into a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (i) the Subscription Price by (ii) the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date.

The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in subparagraph 5(g). No payment or adjustment shall be made for any dividends on the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion. |
| 5.5.Ti | = | Mechanics of Conversion |
| 5.5.sec | = | The holder of any shares of Preferred Stock may exercise the conversion right specified in subparagraph 5(a) by surrendering to the Corporation or any transfer agent of the Corporation the certificate or certificates for the shares to be converted, accompanied by written notice specifying the number of shares to be converted. Upon the occurrence of the events specified in subparagraphs (b) or (c), the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; provided that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue to any such holder certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless certificates evidencing the shares of Preferred Stock are either delivered to the Corporation or any transfer agent of the Corporation. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date when delivery of notice of an election to convert and certificates for shares is made pursuant to subparagraph 5(a) or on the date of the occurrence of the events specified in subparagraphs 5(b) or 5(c), as the case may be, and such date is referred to herein as the “Conversion Date.” Subject to the provisions of subparagraph 5(g)(vii), as promptly as practicable thereafter (and after surrender of the certificate or certificates representing shares of Preferred Stock to the Corporation or any transfer agent of the Corporation in the case of conversions pursuant to subparagraphs 5(b) or 5(c)) the Corporation shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order of such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled and a check or cash with respect to any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock as provided in subparagraph 5(e). Subject to the provisions of subparagraph 5(g)(vii), the person in whose name the certificate or certificates for Common Stock are to be issued shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Stock on the applicable Conversion Date. Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares covered by a certificate representing shares of Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion (in the case of conversion pursuant to subparagraph 5(a)), the Corporation shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order of the holder of the certificate so surrendered for conversion, at the expense of the Corporation, a new certificate covering the number of shares of Preferred Stock representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so surrendered. |
| 5.6.Ti | = | Fractional Shares |
| 5.6.sec | = | No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at any one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock so surrendered. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to that fractional interest of the then Current Market Price. |
| 5.7.Ti | = | Conversion Price Adjustments |
| 5.7.0.sec | = | The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: |
| 5.7.1.Ti | = | Common Stock Issued at Less Than the Conversion Price |
| 5.7.0.sec | = | If the Corporation shall issue any Common Stock other than Excluded Stock (as hereinafter defined) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall immediately (except as provided below) be reduced to the price determined by dividing (1) an amount equal to the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance multiplied by the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance and (B) the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation upon such issuance, by (2) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance. For the purposes of any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to clause (i), the following provisions shall be applicable: |
| 5.7.1.Ti | = | Cash |
| 5.7.1.sec | = | In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, the amount of the consideration received by the Corporation shall be deemed to be the amount of the cash proceeds received by the Corporation for such Common Stock before deducting therefrom any discounts, commissions, taxes or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by the Corporation for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof. |
| 5.7.2.Ti | = | Consideration Other Than Cash |
| 5.7.2.sec | = | In the case of the issuance of Common Stock (otherwise than upon the conversion of shares of capital stock or other securities of the Corporation) for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, including securities acquired in exchange therefor (other than securities by their terms so exchangeable), the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as determined by the Board of Directors, irrespective of any accounting treatment; provided that such fair value as determined by the Board of Directors shall not exceed the aggregate Current Market Price of the shares of Common Stock being issued as of the date the Board of Directors authorizes the issuance of such shares. |

| 5.7.3.1.sec | = | the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of such options, warrants or other rights to purchase or acquire Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options, warrants or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in subclauses (A) and (B) above), if any, received by the Corporation upon the issuance of such options, warrants or rights plus the minimum purchase price provided in such options, warrants or rights for the Common Stock covered thereby; |
| 5.7.3.2.sec | = | the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for any such convertible or exchangeable securities, or upon the exercise of options, warrants or other rights to purchase or acquire such convertible or exchangeable securities and the subsequent conversion or exchange thereof, shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options, warrants or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for any such securities and related |
| options, warrants or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the additional consideration (determined in the manner provided in subclauses (A) and (B) above), if any, to be received by the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange of such securities, or upon the exercise of any related options, warrants or rights to purchase or acquire such convertible or exchangeable securities and the subsequent conversion or exchange thereof; | = | |

| 5.7.3.4.sec | = | on the expiration or cancellation of any such options, warrants or rights, or the termination of the right to convert or exchange such convertible or exchangeable securities, if the Conversion Price shall have been adjusted upon the issuance thereof, the Conversion Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have been obtained had an adjustment been made upon the issuance of such options, warrants, rights or such convertible or exchangeable securities on the basis of the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of such options, warrants or rights, or upon the conversion or exchange of such convertible or exchangeable securities; and |
| 5.7.3.5.sec | = | if the Conversion Price shall have been adjusted upon the issuance of any such options, warrants, rights or convertible or exchangeable securities, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof; |

Successive adjustments in the Conversion Price shall be made whenever any event specified above shall occur. |
| 5.7.4.Ti | = | Other Distributions |
| 5.7.4.sec | = | In case the Corporation shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of shares of its Common Stock (i) of shares of any class other than its Common Stock or (ii) of evidence of indebtedness of the Corporations or any Subsidiary or (iii) of assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions, and dividends or distributions referred to in subparagraph 5(g) (iii) above), or (iv) of rights or warrants (excluding those referred to in subparagraph 5(g) (i) above), in each such case the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be reduced immediately thereafter to the price determined by dividing (1) an amount equal to the difference resulting from (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Conversion Price per share on such record date, less (B) the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive) of said shares or evidences of indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to be so distributed, by (2) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In the event that such distribution is not so made, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines not to distribute such shares, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants, as the case may be, to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed. |

| 5.7.6.Ti | = | Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Stock Upon Certain Adjustments |
| 5.7.6.sec | = | In any case in which the provisions of this subparagraph (g) shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event (A) issuing to the holder of any share of Preferred Stock converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (B) paying to such holder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock pursuant to subparagraph (f) of this paragraph 5; provided that the Corporation upon request shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional shares, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment. |

In the case of any action which would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least 10 days prior to the date so fixed, and in case of all other action, such notice shall be given at least 15 days prior to the taking of such proposed action. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of any such action. |

If, and so long as, any Common Stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock are then convertible is listed on any national securities exchange, the Corporation will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange, list and keep listed on such exchange, upon official notice of issuance, all shares of such Common Stock issuable upon conversion. |
